One thing I liked about “support” is it implies that your hosting provider will help you if you have a problem obtaining/renewing/using your Let’s Encrypt certificate. I do think I like “integrate” better, but I still think this is an important criterion.

You can eliminate a lot of what we wouldn’t consider to be true integrations with this simple criterion. For example, GoDaddy probably won’t help me use gethttpsforfree.com with their CSR, so they would easily fail.

Also, I’m not aware of GoDaddy actively blocking ACME validation in the past? Does somebody have a source for that?

There are lots of forum and blog posts on the Internet from GoDaddy customers who have successfully used clients like acme.sh and web-based clients with various GoDaddy products. AFAIK nothing has changed recently.

I was going to Be Bold and add them to No Planned Support since there seems to be no interest in loosening the criteria, but then I realized the bit about them blocking ACME validation before didn’t match my memory.

EDIT: I found a good link to use so I went ahead and added them anyway. I left off anything about them blocking ACME validation before; if it is corroborated I’ll add it.

I personally want to merge Full Support & Regular Support… (since the only way to identify if the hosting provider makes automatic redirection from http to https is to signup & test…)
Also, want to remove No Support since almost all hosting providers would help (allow) customer to install a certificate to their website.

Squarespace - possibly contradicted by source (it’s unclear but Insecure appears to be the default setting)

Tumblr - contradicted by source (guess who?)

VIPserv - contradicted by source

Webdock - confirmed by source

Weebly - contradicted by source (requires manual enablement)

WordPress - confirmed by source

EDIT: this list was revised as I contacted the hosting providers.

I’ll move the ones with contradictory information in the sources as soon as I hit Reply. Tomorrow I’ll reach out to the two unconfirmed ones & Squarespace and give them a chance to clarify on their help pages or blogs, unless someone with a fancy email address ending would prefer to.

I think this section really helps keep people from asking repeatedly about providers that have no support, and would hate to see it go.

I have now reached out to Inspedium Corp. and Squarespace asking them to update their confirmation links or provide a new one that confirms their eligibility for Full Support status. (On double-checking the translation, I found that manitu did indicate that they redirect and updated my earlier analysis.)

I set a deadline for next Friday, August 3 in my communication. If they aren’t updated by then, feel free to demote these two providers to Regular Support status.

@ryankekos Please provide me a post/page that states automatic issue let’s encrypt certificate in order for me to add gearhost to the list…

@hcsAU Please provide me a post/page that states automatic issue let’s encrypt certificate in order for me to add happycloudsolutions to the list…

@sideservers Please renew the certificate from your website first, then provide me a post/page that states automatic issue let’s encrypt certificate in order for me to add sideservers to the list…

@mritzmann Although there’s let’s encrypt on the source page, there is no place mentions LE is automatically requested & renewed… Please add that to the page and provide me the link in order for me to add snowflake back.

@f1mktsol We need more details… Please add at least one page that states Let’s Encrypt is supported for free & automatically then provide me the link…

@jmsperu Please provide me a post/page that states automatic issue let’s encrypt certificate (other than order page) in order for me to add xcobeanto the list…

@ITfee Hosteurope was not on the list because you would need to pay in order to get a certificate / it’s not automatically issued & renewed.

@gsperry Please provide me a post/page that states automatic issue & renew of let’s encrypt certificate in order for me to add xmission to the list…

@CharlesWorks Please provide me a post/page that states automatic issue & renew of let’s encrypt certificate in order for me to add charlesworks to the list… (P.S. there is NO order page!!)

@Wavpro First of all, the domain is a free domain (owned by freenom), please at least upgrade to a paid domain so your site won’t suddenly disappear. next, please provide me a post/page that states automatic issue & renew of let’s encrypt certificate in order for me to add hugespace to the list…

@futureweb Hi, your site is pending removal from list… Please provide me a post/page that states automatic issue & renew of let’s encrypt certificate & redirection to https in order to keep up in the list.

@JulNadeauCA Hi, install via command line does not qualify to be on the list… Sorry

@kundan1429 Hi, Install upon request does not qualify to be on the list, it will need to be automatic… Sorry

@grhm Hi, although the process is complex, i’ll still add that to the full support list.

@Web_HostingUK Please provide me a post/page that states automatic issue & renew of let’s encrypt certificate in order for me to add web hosting ukto the list… (We do not expect install via command line is the only option)

@jsjosiah Please provide me a post/page that states automatic issue & renew of let’s encrypt certificate in order for me to add website - hosting to the list…

@MatthiasMerkel In order for us (at least me) to add your hosting to the list, you would need a page on the site stating “autoissuing and redirecting to HTTPS”. Please notify me when you added & provide me the link to this information.

Thank you

P.S. sorry for the bulk @ and reply… somehow i could only mention 10 people per post… so this’s my way to bypass it…

my sites are hosted on ifasnet and they all have https activated. They take care of creating the Let’sEncrypt certificate and even renew them automatically. I think ByetHost and Ifasnet are the same company or at least sister companies,
